This work includes details starting from the basics of drone technology and discusses diverse aspects related to drone designing and implementation. Further chapters detail the impact of drone technology on society in terms of development, challenges, and security concerns. Then, implementations of artificial intelligence techniques such as machine learning, deep learning, etc., are discussed to translate drone technology into intelligent drone technology. There are diverse applications in the area of intelligent drone technologies such as agriculture, disaster management, security, military, etc. Hence, in this book, some of the drone-specific applications are discussed.

“The general public may have seen news stories of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) delivering drugs and even human organs (for transplantation) across a hospital campus, monitoring the U.S.-Mexico border, delivering food, and providing security overflight. They may have seen creative light displays as new year celebrations, with smart drones flashing their brights. Others have been used for building-based art shows, alongside high-powered light projectors. Perhaps they have handled a commercial drone to shoot footage for their social media channels or films. They may have seen fleeting visuals of military-style UAVs in news stories of a hot war. Based on consumed information and experiences, people likely have various evocations in terms of “drones” and “UAVs”. Mohit Angurala and Vikas Khullar’s Revolutionary Applications of Intelligent Drones (2022) offers a look at various practical uses of these aircraft. Their edited collection may help situate understandings of such craft in a more systematized way. Indeed, drones have been used for “drug delivery, agricultural applications, vertical structure inspection, construction site survey” and other applications (n.p.). They have been applied in medicine, agriculture, disaster management, entertainment, and military applications. During the SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 pandemic, they were used for package deliveries. They may affect how people live, interact, share, war-fight, and otherwise engage…Read more at >>>” – Shalin Hai-Jew, Instructional Designer/Researcher, Kansas State University.
